Stoic Philosopher · c. AD 50–135
The Freedom No Master Could Take
Epictetus was born a slave around AD 50, and his name means simply 'acquired.' Ancient writers agree that he was lame but disagree about why. One tradition says he was lame from childhood; another, told by Celsus and quoted by the Christian Origen, says a master twisted his leg until it broke while Epictetus calmly warned him it would.
At Nicopolis, in Epirus, he taught young men from across the empire. Among them was Arrian of Nicomedia, later a Roman senator and the historian of Alexander the Great, who wrote down his teacher's conversations. They survive as the Discourses, four books of a probable eight, and as the short Handbook, or Enchiridion.
His teaching rests on one distinction. Some things are within our power, such as our judgments, intentions and desires, and some are not, such as our bodies, property and reputation. Peace of mind comes from attending to the first and accepting the second. Marcus Aurelius, who never met him, thanks his teacher Junius Rusticus in the Meditations for lending him the Discourses of Epictetus.
The piece
The picture shows the teacher at rest rather than at work. Light falls from the upper left across his bare shoulder and the coarse, frayed cloth of his cloak, and the eye travels from the thoughtful face down the long staff to his bare feet on the stone floor. The lamp and scroll on the table suggest a long night of thought.

Size guide
Find the right size
This piece, to scale, above an 84-inch sofa. Pick a size, or a format and frame above, and the wall follows.
Which size?
Sizes are the artwork's. Frames and hangers add a little around the edge.
Above a sofa or bed, art looks best at about two-thirds of the furniture's width, hung 8 to 10 inches above it.
